This page contains pointers to various slices of the normal adult human brain (transaxial views), as imaged using high resolution SPECT and T2-weighted MRI. Images have been selected across 21 slices in the transaxial plane.
The SPECT images were acquired for 30 minutes after injection of 740 MBq (20 mCi) of Tc-99m HMPAO (Ceretec(TM), Exametazime, Amersham Inc.) using a high resolution dedicated brain SPECT camera (DSI, Waltham, MA). The T2 weighted MR images were acquired using a 1.5 tesla Signal system (General Electric, Milwaukee, WI), with a slice thickness of 5.0 mm, and a pixel size of 0.86 mm.
Browsing options
Since these pages contain many images, and take a lot of time to download, different navigational options are provided to view the images. After selecting any one of these browsing options, you will encounter an array of 20 different slices/ cross-sectional levels. By clicking on any of the 20 icons, you may then view the corresponding images.
Downloading could take a little time. Please be patient.
